Period 9 Land

Russia's land is big and wide. You may think it is great, but in reality it's not.

Russia has the largest flat land plain in the world. The West Siberian Plains runs throughs Russia's land. Much of the West Siberian Plains is unfit for living. The many rivers that flow through it make the land muddy and wet. People can live in the southern part of the plain. The North European Plain lays in the northwest part of Russia. It is where a few major cities were built.external image ueol_03_img0099.jpgThe plains in Russia make it much larger.

Mountains ranges in Russia are huge in Russia. Major mountain ranges includethe Ural Mountains and the Causcasus Mountains. The Ural mountains are not very high. They create a border between Russia and Asia. This can create minor problems of travel through it. The Causcasus Mountains are taller than the Ural mountains. These mountains are covered in trees.


The land in Russia may look beautiful, but it is really hard land. These mountains,plains, etc. may be an enjoyment for us, but they can create problems for the russians. Some are travel, vegitation, and population. The mountains make it so the most effective way would be by air. These mountains and muddy plains make their living areas extremely limited.

Russia contains the largest inland body of water in the world! This body of water is known as the Caspian Sea.
